The action, since spliced
A head lost and wandering
The body, returned.

I've always wanted to try riddles within haiku. It's a poetry in itself, riddling, but when measured so precisely, so delicately? Simply sublime.

But it seems I have my chance after all.

Hello.

voice, he cannot do text sry

[deadthenred]

Do you do limericks?

[deadthenred]

I got this big personality defect where I see threats like they're challenges.

[enigmaestro]

Perhaps you can get that sorted, when you visit me at the asylum.

[deadthenred]

I'm not gonna bust you out, you know. Though you never seemed that crazy to me.

[enigmaestro]

I'm glad someone is reasonable enough to realize that.

[deadthenred]

I'm thoroughly sane and you're not gonna talk me otherwise.

I'm just seeing how many of your icons can match to mine. A CHALLENGE!

[enigmaestro]

Oh, if only I had played that front, coming in.

spoilers: i think you have more icon slots

[deadthenred]

I wasn't being smart. But you're not painting this like a place I wanna visit.

but some of them are inactive! they're cruel sirens!

[enigmaestro]

Goodness, who could blame you? I don't want to visit. And yet, here I am.

i let all my extra icons lapse a long time ago

[deadthenred]

It must be really embarrassing.

this is an unbearable tragedy

[enigmaestro]

Even more so when you state it that blatantly.

i've been thinking about bringing them back since i'm getting new art now

[deadthenred]

You wouldn't take my help if I gave it, so you hafta put up with the obvious.

that is a very good reason and i support it

[enigmaestro]

Oh, lucky me. Do you treat all your good friends with such kindness, or just the really special ones?

next issue, maybe /strokes chin

[deadthenred]

My friends don't usually wind up in asylums.

But I'm a bit of a jerk to everyone, yeah. [He doesn't sound super-thrilled about it.]

[enigmaestro]

Call me unusual.

And really, isn't sympathy overvalued anyway?

[deadthenred]

Yeah, for you it works out.

I dunno that people value it enough to overprice, frankly.
